Beast Gear Weight Lifting Straps

If there’s anything that can make the gym experience easier, then I’m always open to checking it out. Except roids…I ain’t no juicer, yo.

I recently got my hands on a nifty squat pad that make squats much less uncomfortable. Call me a pussy all you want, I’ll be the pussy without torn up shoulders from that nasty barbell.

So once I reached a ‘plateau’ stage in my deadlifts, I started to wonder whether a cute little pair of gloves would help. They didn’t.

Then I saw guys using these straps. I checked them out online and liked the sound of them, so I splashed out £7.97 for a pair of Beast Gear Weight Lifting Straps from Amazon. And I can happily confirm they really do make a difference.

The theory is that they support your grip, so that you don’t bail out on your deadlift set because your grip gives out.

I was confident that I could keep going if only I could hold on to that damn bar for longer. These straps helped me do that from the very first time I used them.

The Beast Gear straps have a lovely gel-filled effect and they are clearly of very high quality. They seem like they will last for a good long time and they are exceptionally comfortable to wear.

The deadlift plateau has been conquered and I now don’t feel quite as embarrassed about how little I’m lifting.

Well worth what is a pretty small investment.

UPDATE: I originally incorrectly wrote that Beast Gear provided no instructions on how to properly use the straps despite promising to do so on the item’s Amazon listing, and that I had to search YouTube for instructional videos. In fact, my wife ordered these straps for me from her Amazon Prime account…and a perfectly good instructional guide was sent to her via email. So yeah, my bad!
